Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 988 The bridal chamber
There is currently no restriction on the number of hot dishes in Sijiucheng. Four, six or eight dishes are all fine.

Some people say that if there are four, six or eight hot dishes combined with nine cold dishes, wouldn’t that be an odd number?
At this time, the meatballs that were boiled two days ago come in handy. Finally, serve the relatives a dish of meatball soup, which not only makes the number of dishes even but also tells them that the banquet is about to end.

However, the order of serving dishes cannot be so rough and simple, and enough time should be left for relatives to drink.

Generally, after the cold dishes are served, two or one-third of the hot dishes will be served in succession.

This period of time is reserved for relatives to drink. Only when the person in charge sees that the relatives have drunk a certain amount of alcohol will the kitchen continue to serve hot dishes.

At this time, after the hot dishes are served, those drinking with friends at other tables will understand that this is the beginning of a big party, and they will start to urge people to drink.

Some wedding banquet managers will even ask those who accompany the drinking to adopt a strategy of hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting yourself by 1,000. You cannot replace people immediately after they drink. In short, you must make sure that the relatives drink well and get a few of them drunk, otherwise the man's enthusiasm cannot be reflected.

But these had nothing to do with Han Li. He only needed to follow his father to symbolically toast to all the relatives.

Han Li moved a bench and sat in the sun with a group of people, basking in the sun and chatting. As for those who stayed up late with him last night, they were now taking a nap in the tent where they kept their things.

At this moment, Han's father and mother were handing over the accounts to Teacher Zhang Yubo who was helping to keep the accounts. They were stunned when they saw the final accumulated amount of money in the account book.

You have to know that Han's father and mother invested a lot of money in their son's wedding. Not to mention the bride's entourage, the scale of the dishes at their banquet was definitely the largest in the area of ​​Mianhua Hutong.

Even though it costs a lot, they are happy about it in their hearts. This is their only son, the most promising son, and they will only have this one wedding banquet in their lifetime. If they don't spend money now, when will they spend it?

But what Han's father and mother didn't expect was that their son actually made money after getting married, and the money he made was more than twice what they spent.

Why not hold a few more weddings for my son? It's faster than buying a house and collecting rent.

These things that happened at the wedding banquet seem short when spoken of, but they actually took a long time to happen. The banquet started around 11 a.m., and by the time the Yun family thanked the chef and left, it was already past three p.m.

Because no one on the man's side had eaten before the in-laws left, and according to the rules, no meal would be arranged, so everyone was already starving by this time.

So as soon as the Yun family left, several managers loudly asked those who came to help to get moving.

The chefs also started to get busy and put in a lot of effort, as this was the last meal they would prepare for this host's wedding banquet.

In addition, they also need to prepare a table of cold dishes and put them aside and cover them. These dishes are for the young people who will make trouble in the bridal chamber at night.

After the tables in the wedding tent were cleaned up, the person in charge had all the eight-immortal tables arranged in a row. After they were arranged, he asked everyone to put the dishes on them.

This dish is arranged in a long snake formation, and there are no rules. A maximum of four or five plates can be placed on a table, and it all depends on luck which dish is served.

After the dishes are put on the table, the wine will be served. However, there are no wine utensils at this time. There are only large bowls on the table. Due to time constraints, what matters now is a quick decision, and you are not given the opportunity to drink slowly.

After everyone gathered around the table, Han Li took Yun Yingying and followed his father and mother to each table to toast everyone and express their gratitude.

After Han Li's family finished toasting, the people present pressed the fast forward button. Those who could drink and those who were craving for wine took up their bowls and drank two bowls, while those who couldn't drink picked up their chopsticks and began to sweep the dishes on the table, and finally took their bowls to serve a bowl of stewed vegetables and eat two steamed buns. I have to say here that according to the current custom of the city of Sijiu, in order to thank the neighbors and those who came to help, the quality of the last pot of dishes was quite high, even better than the one eaten by the in-laws.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the area around Han Li's house became a battlefield.

Han's mother took the Han sisters, He Mi, Ding Yulan and several neighborhood aunties to start dividing the leftovers. These leftovers would be returned together with the tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and bowls borrowed from the neighbors.

Cook Liang was reconciling accounts with the steward, and his men were divided into two groups with ease, one group dismantling the wedding tent, and the other group loading their own food onto the cart.

Han Li's friends were not idle either. They also divided into several groups and started cleaning the Han sisters' rooms. They put the original things back after they were cleaned.

Some of them put the tables and chairs that Tong Shaoxin brought from the sports school together and would help him send them back to the sports school later.

Some started to put together the tables, chairs and benches from their neighbors according to the markings on them, and they would start as soon as Han's mother distributed the food and said it was delivered.

Han Li and Yun Yingying were also busy. In another tent, they started to sort out the dowry sent by the Yun family. The bedding, electric fans, washing machines and other items remained as they were, but the televisions and tape recorders were taken out of the boxes and watched and listened to by everyone in the past two days.

There is also the camera, which has played a vital role. It has consumed three rolls of film at Han Li's wedding over the past two days. Those rolls have been sent to the photo studio, and the photos will be available in three days.

After everyone had their own division of labor and worked in an orderly manner for a while, the Han family's courtyard and the streets outside had basically returned to their original state.

All those who helped had left, except Yu Daqiang, Zhang Hailin and other young people who were waiting to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

At this time, Han's mother asked Han Li to move all of Yun Yingying's dowry to their new house in Houhaizi, and to pack them up quickly because the man she had asked to help make the bed would be coming over soon.

However, Yun Yingying did not agree to all of this. She insisted on leaving the TV at home for Han's father and mother to watch.

Han Li had already discussed this with Yun Yingying when they were packing up in the afternoon. They still had to go to school after getting married, and the tape recorder could be of some help to them in learning foreign languages, so they could carry it with them.

But the TV is basically useless, they don't have much time to watch it, and it would be a waste if it got broken when they moved it back and forth between home and school.

The two of them are only at home on Sundays and holidays. Instead of letting the TV gather dust at home, it would be better to leave it there to entertain their parents, which also shows that they are filial.

The reason why Han Li asked Yun Yingying to speak was for the sake of family harmony.

Although Han's mother was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's behavior, she still disagreed to keep the TV. When the two were arguing, Han Li made the final decision and let the TV stay.

Further behind them came a group of people driving several cars loaded with bedding sent by the Yun family, all the large dowries except the television, and wine and food specially reserved by the kitchen for their bridal chamber pranks. They delivered them to Han Li's new courtyard house in Houhaizi in a grand manner.

However, after Han Li and Yun Yingying delivered the things, they left those people waiting to make trouble in the bridal chamber and returned to Mianhua Hutong.

When they headed towards Houhaizi again, Han Ma and two Quanfu aunts and sisters-in-law were in the car to help make the bed.
